People seem to focus a lot on the small things.
Can I make $300k/year a few years out of college in Texas? If I want to switch companies, can I easily find another similar position near by? Can I golf and ski and hike in the same weekend (really just making an argument for the weather here)?
Those are the questions that matter to me the most. I'm looking to put as much money into my savings as I can per year.
1) Cost of food/other living expenses is a very small percentage.
2) $1500 rent (sharing with gf) = $18k a year, also a small percentage if I ended up paying, what, half in Texas? a third?
3) Sure, I can't buy property here, but I'm fine with that for now.
4) My commute is 20 minutes right now.
* This is all with tech salaries. Obviously with lower salaries, smaller things become larger percentages.
